A Mere Seed Of Hope….

Only God Knows Why
You just never know. In ‘rescue’ there is much heartache. Many times we lose an animal we try so desperately to ‘fix’. I suppose that is life in general….we THINK we are in control from time to time……..but no amount of ‘science’ will fix that … Continue readingOnly God Knows Why
